Drifting farther off topic, I am fascinated with the old belt lines the machine shops had years back.

Before and during the Great Depression, my Grandfather was the area blacksmith. I remember going into his shop, when I was a kid, and playing with his tools. He had a forge and a bellows? that was on a stand and you cranked the handle. It looked like a big blow dryer. When the state took the place, all that equipment disappeared.

Back in the 1970's, the Arkansas Highway Department moved their Central shop from Jacksonville, Arkansas to West Little Rock, Arkansas. They had a sale after the move and there were a lot of old stuff that I craved, but had no money to buy, nor skills to use. Among them were a large coal forge, a power hammer and a large anvil. The anvil must have weighed 700-800 lbs. Lots of hand tools to go with these items. This shop was in an old building that was used during WWII in some capacity and I think these things were from that era. I did not get to attend the sale and would have been barred from bidding as I was a employee, but I had no money anyway. miles That anvil alone probably went for more than $2000.00. They are hard to find. There are forums devoted to anvils.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
